Alex’s Realization
Alex was silent for a long time, unable to process the news. “I… I had no idea,” he finally said quietly, the weight of his failures and misconceptions obvious in his eyes. It was a humbling experience for him to face the reality that his actions, based on incorrect assumptions, had brought us here. “I’m sorry, Clara,” he replied, but I could see his apology was as much for himself as it was for me.

“I don’t need your apologies, Alex,” I said, hoping to conclude the chapter rather than hurt him further. “I just thought you should know.” I felt relieved as I turned to leave. This visit was not about exacting revenge or making him feel bad; it was about freeing myself from the past. As I walked away from his apartment, I felt empowered because I had finally completed that chapter in my life.
